BenQ unleashes another gaming monitor with some very
cool display tweaking features
It's not an exaggeration to say that BenQ takes gaming
displays more seriously than many other monitor makers out there. Whilst there
are a lot of PC displays out there that are made for artists and designers,
gaming displays are still a very niche market. That however hasn't discouraged
BenQ one bit, as they launched yet another new gaming monitor in the form of
the BenQ RL2455HM gaming monitor.
A Feast For A
Gamer's Eyes
The RL2455HM is a 24-inch LED backlit display with a
resolution of 1,920 x 1,080 pixels and utilizes a TN panel. The display is
capable of recognizing up to 16.7 million colors and has a 72percent color
gamut, which in layman terms means that the monitor is able of reproducing many
colors which is perceivable to the human eye.
BenQ are also generous with ports on the RL2455HM as the
monitor comes equipped with one VGA, DVI and two HDMI ports. It also has
built-in speakers as well as one line-in and headphone-out jacks, which is very
useful for users who have more than one machine connected to the display.
We're also glad
that BenQ has decided to forego the popular touch-sensitive buttons and used
physical buttons instead as this makes it easier for users to access the
monitor's options panel and do adjustments

The RL2455HM comes with a new feature BenQ calls the Black
eQualizer, which allows users to brighten dark spots in either games or movies
without overexposing white levels to retain the overall quality of the
picture. This feature works as intended, although it needs to be set manually
beforehand.

For gamers who are particular about ghosting effects and
graphical tears, fear not as the RL2455HM has a 1ms GTG (Grey-to-Grey) response
time, which means that fast action scenes and sequences with a lot of particles
will be rendered smoothly. On top of that, BenQ has also added two RTS presets
for RTS gamers, which are specially customized for two games, Starcraft II and
DOTA 2.
